Wikipedia is making it easier to explore the internet with page previews

Wikipedia added a new useful feature earlier this week: page previews. its the one of largest updates to Wikipedia made in recent years, provides wiki readers with a popuppreviews window that appears a bit of additional context for the article behind the link.

"With Page Previews, whenever a wiki reader hovers over a link to another article, a short summary of the subject and an image (if available) is displayed," explains the Page Preview links Wikipedia page. "The user can then decide whether they wish to visit that subject more thoroughly before continuing with the current article." this feature is already using by google and so many major sites, but the Wikipedia achieve it now.

The main goal of "page previews" was to decrease the cost of exploration for each blue link users come across, "allowing readers to satisfy their curiosity or clarify a confusing or unknown topic without the burden of opening a new page and navigating back to the original", In other words, you no longer need to click through 30
different Wikipedia pages in order to finally understand important stuff
like the philosophy that inspired the man who inspired the Graham cracker. Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia platform, said in an official post last weekend.The same Wikipedia page notes that Page Previews were rolled out for German and English language Wikipedia sites in April, but that it had been tested on Catalan, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian Wikipedia pages since 2017.
